[Bryn-gwlad] Armouring

[Zach Most]

Yeah, a cheapo hammer that you don't mind mangling can
be just the tool for a lot of jobs.  It can be easier
to shape than a spike.  A lot of Harbor Freight tools
are lower carbon than I'd like, so they're softer. 
For a one time use though it's probably not a big
deal, and I do keep a few around to be reshaped.  
  McMaster-Carr has a good price on spikes.  It's
about a buck a piece, though shipping kind of burns
